And it was Ike Udengwu that took center stage.
The Mounties quarterback completed 25-of-35 for 326 yards.
Udengwu threw four TD passes and didn’t turn the ball over.
Diego Esqueda, arguably the most reliable kicker among So Cal JC players, got MSAC on the board with a 41-yard field goal in the first quarter.
Udengwu’s 63-yard TD pass to Jaden Allen gave the Mounties a 14-0, second-quarter lead.

Palomar QB, Kiah Reid was 11-of-23 for 156 yards and one TD.
Brooks caught five passes for 104 yards, including PC’s lone TD of the night.
